That, my friend, is the oil pump drive... actually called the Camshaft position sensor/Oil pump drive. And it was squealing like a pig wasn't it? Had mine replaced. The bushing gets oblong and makes a horrible noise.

If it goes out, oil ceases to move, so make sure just lubing it didn't merely cover the actual problem otherwise you might be looking at a new engine.

Thank you Tiny and Jerry for the feedback.
I reported it to the Jeep Official dealership and thay have replaced it under the warranty clause.

Had you guys had not highlighted its importance I would have had ignored it.

Hello! i am new to owning a jeep and just bought it Oct.2010. A month into driving it this horrible noise appeared upon starting for the first time, after driving for about 5 min it would quit. No warning lights, all gauges in normal range.
